The Development of the ‘Pile-wall Interaction’ Technology

Abstract

The ‘pile-wall interaction’ is a new foundation technology in geotechnical engineering and it has not been widely used in the structure design, neither at home or abroad. Besides, the corresponding domestic design specifications are still relatively lacking, which leads to a huge difference of design in different regions. Therefore, the authors pay attention to analysis and summary of the project about ‘pile-wall interaction’ from different countries and areas in the world, and point out some problems about this emerging technology. They hope that this study can promote the application and development of ‘pile-wall interaction’ technology.
